Notify the Technical Assistance Service. ■ Accessories, pans, film, greaseproof paper or aluminium foil on the oven floor: Do not place any accessory on the oven floor. Do not cover the oven floor with any type of film or paper. Do not place any cookware on the oven floor if the temperature is set at more than 50 ºC. It will get too hot. Oven and cooking times will be inaccurate and the enamel will be damaged. Water in a hot oven Do not pour hot water into a hot oven. Steam will be produced. The resulting changes in temperature may damage the enamel and/or accessories. Liquid foods: Do not keep liquid foods for too long inside the oven with the door closed. This would damage the enamel. Fruit juices: Do not overfill the tray when baking pies containing juicy fruits. Fruit juice spilling from the tray will cause stains that will be impossible to remove. Use the deep enamel tray whenever possible. Leaving the door open when the oven is cooling down The oven must only be left to cool with the door closed. Even if the oven door is left only slightly open, the fronts of nearby kitchen units may be damaged over time. Dirty oven seal A very dirty oven seal will prevent the oven door from remaining properly closed during operation. The fronts of nearby kitchen units may be damaged. Keep the oven door seal clean at all times. The oven door as a support surface: Do not rest or sit on the oven door when it is open. Do not place any cookware or accessory on the oven door. Transporting the appliance: Do not use the door handle to move or secure the appliance. The handle cannot take the weight of the appliance and may break. The glass panel of the oven door might move, causing misalignment between the front panel and the glass panel. Grilling: When grilling, do not place the universal deep tray or the flat oven tray at a height of more than 3. Due to the extreme heat, it could be deformed and cause damage to the enamel when it is removed. Use level 4 and 5 only for direct grilling. Enhanced safety for the door With certain recipes which require extended use of the oven at high temperatures, the oven door may become extremely hot. If you have small children at home, keep an eye on them while the oven is being used. A safety device which prevents direct contact with the oven door is also available. This optional accessory (671383) may be obtained from our Technical Assistance Service. 3 Your new oven We will now describe your new oven.

Advice on how to care for and clean your oven is provided below. Notes ■ Different colours may be seen in your front panel due to the various materials used in its manufacture, such as glass, plastic and metal. ■ ■ Zone Cleaning products Sliding guides Hot water and a little soap: Clean with a dishcloth or a brush. Do not leave this to soak or wash in a dishwasher. Accessories Hot water and a little soap: Soak and clean using a dishcloth or brush. Dark patches in the door's glass panel may seem to be dirt but they are in fact reflections from the oven light. Cleaning the self cleaning surfaces in the oven interior Enamel burns at very high temperatures. This may cause slight discolouration. This is normal and does not affect the oven's operation. The edges of thin baking trays may not be completely enamelled. They may therefore feel slightly rough, although their corrosive protection will be unaffected. The inside rear and side walls and ceiling of some ovens may be lined with a highly porous ceramic lining. This lining absorbs splashes produced during baking and roasting, dissolving them while the oven is on. This cleaning will be most effective at higher temperatures and during longer cooking times. Carry out the following steps if the oven is still dirty after being used several times: Cleaning products Follow the indications provided in the table to avoid damaging the various oven surfaces by using unsuitable cleaning products. Do not use ■ abrasive or acidic cleaning products ■ strong products containing alcohol ■ scourers or hard sponges ■ high-pressure or steam cleaners Wash new dishcloths thoroughly before use. Zone Cleaning products Front panel Hot water and a little soap: Clean with a dishcloth and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use a glass cleaning product or a glass scraper. Stainless steel Glass panel Glass panels on oven door 1. Thoroughly clean the bottom and any walls that do not have this lining. 2. Programming the hot air function N. 3. Empty the oven and then leave it on with the door closed for approximately 2 hours at maximum temperature. The ceramic lining will regenerate. Once the oven has cooled down, remove any brown and white stains with water and a soft sponge. Slight discolouration of the lining does not affect its selfcleaning performance. Caution! ■ ■ Do not use abrasive cleaning products. These would scratch and impair the highly porous lining. Never use oven cleaning products on ceramics. If oven cleaner is spilled on this accidentally, immediately remove it using lots of water and a sponge. Hot water and a little soap: Clean with a dishcloth and dry with a soft cloth. Immediately remove any water marks, grease, cornflower or egg white stains since corrosion could occur underneath these marks or stains. Cleaning the oven's enamelled bottom and walls Special products for the care of stainless steel and which are suitable for hot surfaces may be obtained from Technical Assistance Service centres and specialist retail outlets. Use a very fine soft cloth to apply the cleaning product. Light Glass cleaning products: Clean with a soft cloth. Do not use a glass scraper. Glass cleaning products: Clean with a soft cloth. Do not use a glass scraper. Glass cover for the oven Hot water and a little soap: light Clean with a dishcloth. The seal Do not remove! Hot water and a little soap: Clean with a dishcloth. Do not rub. Wire shelves or rails Hot water and a little soap: Soak and clean using a dishcloth or brush. Use a cleaning cloth and hot water with a little soap or vinegar. If very dirty, use a fine steel scourer or a special oven cleaning product. These must only be used when the oven interior is cold. Do not use metal scourers or special oven cleaning products on self-cleaning surfaces. The oven light can be turned on manually to facilitate cleaning. Turning on the oven light Turn the function control knob to the ^ position. The light will come on. The temperature control knob must be turned off.

Energy-saving and environmental protection tips In this chapter we offer you some advice about how to save energy when baking or roasting and how to properly dispose of the appliance. Saving energy ■ ■ ■ ■ Preheat the oven only if this is required by a recipe or is indicated in the tables. Use dark, lacquered or black enamel baking tins. These are more efficient at absorbing heat. Keep the oven door closed during cooking, baking and roasting cycles. When baking several cakes, these should be preferably baked one after the other. The oven will still be hot, thereby 10 reducing the cooking time for the second cake. Two rectangular baking tins can be placed side-by-side. ■ For long cooking times, the oven may be turned off 10 minutes prior to the specified time, allowing the item to continue to cook but taking advantage of the oven's residual heat. Environmentally-friendly disposal of waste Dispose of packaging with the environment in mind. This appliance is identified according to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive WEEE 2002/96/EC. This directive defines the framework for the recycling and reuse of appliances used in EU territory. Tested for you in our cooking studio The tables contain a number of tips for each dish. Here you will find a selection of dishes and the ideal settings for them. We will show you which type of heating and which temperature are best suited for your dish. You can find information about suitable accessories and the height at which they should be inserted. There are also tips about cookware and preparation methods. If 3 rectangular moulds are used at the same time, place on the shelf as shown in the picture. Notes ■ The values in the table always apply to dishes placed into the cooking compartment when it is cold and empty. Only preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you should do so. Do not line the accessories with greaseproof paper until after they have been preheated. ■ ■ ■ The times specified in the tables are guidelines only. They will depend on the quality and composition of the food. Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be obtained as special accessories from specialist retailers or from the after-sales service. Before using the oven, remove any unnecessary accessories and ovenware from the cooking compartment. Baking tins It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins. Baking times are increased when light-coloured baking tins made of thin metal or glass dishes are used, and cakes do not brown so evenly. Always use oven gloves when taking hot accessories or ovenware out of the cooking compartment. Cakes and pastries If you wish to use silicone baking tins, use the information and recipes provided by the manufacturer as a guide. Silicone baking tins are often smaller than normal tins. The amount of mixture and recipe instructions may differ. Baking on one level Tables The best results are obtained with the upper and lower heat % when baking cakes. The table shows the optimum heating methods for each type of cake or dessert. The temperature and cooking time will depend on the amount and the consistency of the dough. For this reason the cooking tables always provide approximate cooking times. Always begin by trying the lowest value. The items will be more evenly browned at a lower temperature. If necessary, this can be increased next time. When baking using the hot air function N, the following levels are recommended for the accessories: ■ Cakes in moulds: level 2 ■ Cakes on the tray: level 3 If the oven is preheated, cooking times are reduced by 5 to 10 minutes. Baking at different levels Using the hot air mode N. Additional information is provided in the Tips for baking section as an appendix to the tables. Baking on two levels: ■ Enamel baking tray: level 3 ■ Aluminium tray: level 1 To bake a cake only on one level, place the mould on the enamel tray. When baking several cakes at the same time, the moulds can be placed together on the wire shelf. Trays put in the oven at the same time are not necessarily ready at the same time.

Practical cooking tips and suggestions If you want to use your own recipe. You can use a similar one to that listed in the cooking table. How to check whether your sponge cake is ready. Ten minutes before the end of the cooking time indicated in the recipe, test the thickest part of the cake with a thin wooden skewer. The cake is ready when the skewer comes out clean, with no traces of cake mix left on the skewer. The cake is too flat. Next time, try using less liquid or reduce the oven temperature by 10 degrees. Ensure you mix the batter according to the times given in the recipe. The cake has a peaked centre, but the edges have shrunken. Do not grease the tin. Once the cake is ready, use a knife to carefully remove it from the tin. If the cake is too brown on top. Position the cake lower in the oven, reduce the oven temperature and bake it for longer. The cake is too dry. Use a skewer to make small holes in the finished cake. Pour a few drops of fruit juice or alcohol over the cake. Next time, increase the oven temperature by 10 degrees and reduce the cooking time.

Follow the recipe and observe the cooking times. Biscuits are not evenly browned. Select a lower temperature; the biscuits will be browned more uniformly. Bake more delicate pastries with top and bottom heating % on one level. Overhanging greaseproof paper may also affect air circulation. Always trim it to fit the baking tray. Fruit cake is uncooked at the bottom. Next time, put the cake on a lower level. Juice from the fruit oozes out. Next time, use the universal tray if available. Small pastries made with yeast may stick together during baking. Leave a space of about 2 cm between them. Then they will have enough space to rise and brown on all sides. 12 Products have been baked on different levels. Always use the hot air N function when baking products on different levels. Biscuits on the upper tray are darker than those Although several baking trays may be placed in the oven at the same time, this on the lower tray. does not mean that they will necessarily all be ready at the same time. Baking moist cakes produces condensation. Condensation may form when baking. Some of this moisture may evaporate via the door handle, and drops of condensation may form on the control panel or on the front of nearby kitchen units. The oven is physically designed with this in mind. Meat, poultry, fish Grilling Always use the grill with the oven closed. Cookware Any heatproof cookware can be used. For large roasts, the enamel tray can also be used. It is best to use glass containers. Check that the lid of the cookware will fit and close properly. If using enamel containers, add more liquid. When using stainless steel pans, the meat does not brown well and may even be left rare. If so, lengthen the cooking time. Data shown in tables: Uncovered cookware = open Covered cookware = closed Always place cookware in the centre of the wire shelf. Hot glass cookware should be placed on a dry dishcloth. The glass could shatter if rested on a wet or cold surface. Roasting For grilling, preheat the oven for about 3 minutes before the food is placed inside the oven. Place the pieces directly on the wire shelf. If only one piece is prepared, it is best if placed in the centre of the wire shelf. Place the enamel tray at level 1. The tray will help keep the oven clean by catching any meat juices. Do not place the baking tray or universal tray at level 4 or 5. Due to the extreme heat, it could be deformed and cause damage to the oven interior when it is removed. In so far as it is possible, use pieces of the same thickness. This will help them brown evenly and remain juicy. Salt the fillets after grilling. Turn the pieces after Z the time has elapsed. The grill resistance switches on and off automatically. This is normal. The frequency depends on the chosen power level. Add in a little liquid if the meat is lean. Cover the base of the ovenware with approx. ½ cm of liquid. Meat Add liquid generously for pot roasts. Cover the base of the ovenware with approx. 1 - 2 cm of liquid. When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for an additional 10 minutes. This allows better distribution of the meat juices. The amount of liquid depends on the type of meat and the material the ovenware is made of. If preparing meat in an enamelled roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if cooked in glass ovenware. Roasting dishes made from stainless steel are not ideal. The meat cooks more slowly and browns less fully. Use a higher temperature and/or a longer cooking time. Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time. After cooking, wrap sirloin in aluminium foil and leave it to rest for 10 minutes in the oven. For roast pork with a rind, score the rind in a crossways pattern, then lay the roast in the dish with the rind at the bottom.

This is normal and due to the laws of physics. The majority of the steam escapes through the steam outlet. It may settle and form condensation on the cooler switch panel or on the fronts of adjacent units. 14 Gratins, soufflés, browned items Place the cookware on the wire shelf. To roast directly on the wire shelf without containers, insert the enameled tray at height 1. This will keep the oven cleaner.
